Black Rock City, NV is a little remote for most wireless access but we’ll need someplace to put the reports. The SF Chronicle has a story and pictures: > **[Burning Man 2003](https://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Burning-Man-2003-3311938.php)** As many as 2,500 from Seattle head into the desert N of Reno. From today’s Seattle Times: [http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/northwestlife/2001676357\_burning30.html](http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/northwestlife/2001676357_burning30.html) The Burning Man site itself is slow, so must be overloaded: > **[Burning Man - Welcome Home](https://burningman.org/)** > > A global quantum kaleidoscope of possibility. ---
